70 Day Bible Reading Challenge

As you’re reading the Bible this week, ask the following questions:

• S: what SPECIFIC Bible verse stood out to me?
• O: general OBSERVATION. What is the Bible passage saying?
• A: APPLICATION. How do I apply this to my life?
• P: PRAYER: Write a 1 or 2 sentence prayer, telling God what’s most on my heart and mind today.

Personal Growth / growgroup questions

Passage: Hebrews 11:8-10

The One Thing: Jesus is our foundation of future hope

Know

• Dan talked in his message about camping. It’s hard to imagine going camping right now isn’t it? What plans have you needed / might you need to change because of Covid-19?

Grow

• 2 Cor 5:1. The Bible talks about this life being like a tent, and the next life as our real “home”. How can this understanding help us place greater value on this life?
• Hebrews 11:9. What did it mean for Abraham to “make his home like a stranger”. How does John 17:14-19 help us understand this idea better?
• Hebrew 11:9 What might it have been like for Jacob (3^rd generation in the Promised Land) to still be living in tents? Imagine this was your reality in modern-day Canada – how would this have impacted / affected your day to day life / attitude / relationships?
• Hebrew 11:10 What does it mean that God is the “builder” and “architect” of this “city with foundations”. Do you think the writer of Hebrews talking about a literal city or a spiritual reality?
• Hebrews 11:1. How is Biblical hope MORE than mere wishful thinking / ‘hoping’ for the best?
• How might God be using this season of change / isolation to speak truth into your life? What is He telling you? Are you listening?

Show

• Take some time this week and pray 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 over your life. Are there things in your life that you have imagined are foundational when they are nothing more than tent pegs? Ask God to show you how to re-establish the foundation of His Lordship in your life.
